D/Generation

The non-success of this game is, for me, one of the most damning indictments of the mentality of you, the Amiga games-buying public, ever. An utterly superb game, which Mindscape put out at a bargain £19.99 (which then very quickly dropped even further, to a practically immoral £14.99), it scratched the surface of the charts for about a month then disappeared forever. Now you've got a second chance. Don't screw it up again.

D/Generation is a 3D arcade puzzle shoot-'em-up, which is both one of the most atmospheric and one of the most original Amiga games of the last couple of years. The CD32 version makes good use of the joypad to simplify the controls, but otherwise there aren't really any new bits, which is sad. All the same, D/Generation doesn't need any cosmetic tweaks to make it worth buying - lovely gameplay and a perfect learning curve will keep you playing this for weeks.

The Bottom Line

You wouldn't really know it was playing on a CD32, but just this once we'll forgive it, since it's such an impossibly great game anyway. Miss it again, and we'll never let you forget it as long as we live.

But two percent off for bunging a tenner onto the price anyway!
